A woman who identified herself as a survivor of rape confronted Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday, while the South Carolina Republican was speaking to reporters outside a Senate hearing where Christine Blasey Ford was testifying over sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Graham, who is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was discussing Ford's testimony, when a woman who later identified herself on Twitter as Robyn Swirling spoke to Graham.
"Sen. Graham, I was raped 13 years ago," Swirling told Graham, adding later, "I don't remember the exact date, but do you believe me?"
Graham said he was sorry for what happened to Swirling and that she needed to go to the authorities.
"You needed to go to the cops," Graham said. "Go to the cops."
Graham then left the conversation in a elevator.
In her tweet, Swirling wrote that if Graham "had paused to talk with me, instead of rushing into the elevator, I'd have told him the cops can't do anything about it now, but that doesn't make it any less true and doesn't make me any less credible."
